Molecular Dynamics Insights on Thin-Film Lubrication #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction Thin Film Lubrication (TFL) represents a critical transitional regime between elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) and boundary lubrication (BL), where conventional continuum theories often fail to capture the complex interplay of thermal and molecular-scale behaviors. Under high speed and extreme load, the molecular arrangement, heat transfer capability, and shear flow characteristics of lubricants deviate significantly from classical expectations, requiring more advanced atomistic investigation. This study employs non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations with poly-α-olefin (PAO2) to examine the thermal and rheological responses of ultrathin lubricant films under varying pressures and sliding velocities. Such an approach enables direct observation of temperature evolution, flow transitions, and molecular ordering mechanisms—critical insights that advance the fundamental understanding of lubrication science and tribological performance under severe operating ...

Young’s Modulus Variation Cement Adhesives Thermal Action in LRHS #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction Lightweight radiant heating systems (LRHSs) rely heavily on the performance of deformable cement adhesives , as these materials replace conventional screeds and act as the primary bonding layer between the thermal insulation and floor surface. The mechanical stability of these adhesives under temperature variation is crucial, especially when exposed to thermal actions between 30 °C and 50 °C. Changes in Young’s modulus (E) significantly influence the structural behavior of these systems, potentially leading to interface failure , reduced layer integrity, and delamination . Understanding how adhesives such as C2S1 and C2S2 respond to thermal conditions is essential for predicting system durability and improving structural safety in modern heating system applications. Thermal Influence on Young’s Modulus of Cement Adhesives The thermal sensitivity of cement adhesive mortars presents a key focus for research, particularly in the context of LRHSs where temperature fluct...
